Starting Young – Netball Drills for Children

Getting your children involved in sports at a young age is a great way to get them interested in keeping fit and healthy throughout their adult lives. Depending on how young your children are, their bodies will be still developing, so an adult training regime will not only exhaust them, it could also cause some damage.
Essential skills in netball are foot speed and passing speed and accuracy. Your basic training drills should focus on honing these skills.

Warm up and stretch

As with any physical activity, a warm up and stretch is imperative to get blood circulating and keep the body limber. Start with a few laps of the court. Nothing too strenuous, what you’re looking for here is just enough to get a sheen of sweat. Dynamic stretching is a great way of combining stretching with a warm up. These are stretches that are combined with movement, such as lunges, hamstring walks, arm swings, squats and torso twists. Have your kids complete a few sets of these. The great thing about using these exercise with kids is that, frankly, they look silly and your kids will enjoy them all the more.
